Joe Brumm in conversation with Beejay Silcox.
To Bluey’s millions of fans – parents, children and everyone in between – its expert balance of fun, tenderness and wisdom captures the joys and heartaches of family life. In this special craft-focused conversation, creator Joe Brumm tells us how he manages this storytelling triumph. How is it possible to tell such layered and multigenerational tales in less than ten minutes? What has writing Bluey taught him about the child in all of us? And how does it feel to have created one of Australia’s most successful – and loved – cultural exports?
Join two of Australia’s favourite storytellers for a masterclass in child’s play.
(Note: while the subject of this discussion is a beloved children’s character, this is a conversation for grown-ups. Younger readers are welcome, but Bluey herself won’t be present. Families can watch Bluey episodes any time on ABC iview.)
